On the whole, a good day. My body clock is gradually returning to something that approximates normality, which will be quite beneficial when I return to work next week. Also, since I’ll be waking The Boy up weekday mornings for summer school (at least fot the next month), this should be helpful as well. This [...]

In Dreams
There is a world that only mirrors the one we call reality. It is the world of dreams, and in that place there are no boundaries. Over the past two weeks, I have felt something akin to a profound sense of freedom as I slept – or, perhaps more accurately, I have realized upon waking [...]

Day Ten
Making it to the double digits provides me with a feeling of accomplishment. I have no idea why; it really is a silly metric. Today has been a solid ok, I guess. Starting out on the plus side, after “breakfast” this morning (375 mL real food substitute, 15 mL painkillers, 15 mL liquid multi-vitamin, 14 [...]

Quick Hit: Contact Information
I’ve had several questions regarding my contact information. For anyone interested, you can email me at paduanbenedick [at] gmail [dot] com or call me at 615.751.5383.

Day Eight
This has been a day of interesting developments and sensations; they have been a mixture of reassuring and uncomfortable. First off, I’ve started to increase my caloric intake. The 375 mL feedings four times a day have proved to be a bit on the insufficient side for keeping my weight up and body happy. I’d [...]

Day Seven
At the one week mark, there is much news. Besides actally getting out in the world today – not ony did I return to Vanderbilt for my first follow-up clinic visit with the otolaryngologist who performed my surgery, but we also ran errands, plural, which involved stopping at multiple locations around town – I made [...]

Day Six
So something new happened today. This was the first day since leaving the hospital that I became legitimately frustrated and wanted to yell at someone. Let me explain (no, will take too long, let me sum up).
As I mentioned a few posts ago, the recent delivery of baby formula was of a different brand than [...] -
A Love Letter to Cancer
Dear Cancer,
There are so many things that I want to say to you, so many that I need to say. You have come into my life and altered it in the radical way that only those closest to a person can manage. You have forced me to reevaluate my life, my priorities, and my emotions. [...] -
Day Five
An interesting day so far – one that has had both positive and not-so-positive attributes. On the positive side, I have had quite the relaxing day. A couple of movies, a load of laundry, nothing too stressful or demanding. Plus, there has been time for writing, and a (small) breakthrough in one of the stories [...]

Righteous Indignation
I’ve been stewing about this particular subject for some time, pretty much since my biopsy came back as positive for cancer cells. There are times when one is forced to throw one’s hands up and beg for an answer to the question, “Why me?” This has become my opportunity for such.
Those of you who know [...]
